Sizes of aluminum heating radiators of various brands and models

Today, aluminum makes a lot of useful things. So the radiators from the alloy of this metal have already taken root in our homes - beautiful, light, quickly heating. However, when choosing these heating appliances, it is necessary to know and correctly select the sizes of aluminum heating radiators. Let's figure out what sizes come in and how to choose them correctly.

What you need to know about the sizes of radiators and what they affect

The first important dimension is the distance between the axles. Most often, aluminum radiators are found on sale, having a distance between the upper and lower collectors of 35 or 50 cm.

There are models in which this indicator is 80, 70, 60, 40 and 20 cm.

The length of aluminum radiators are practically unlimited in size. The longer the radiator, the higher its power. To achieve the desired power level take a certain number of sections. The total length of the radiator depends on the required power, the size of the section of aluminum heating radiators and their power.

To dock the radiator with the pipes of the heating system, use the installation kit.

It includes:

• 1. Brackets (2 or 4 pieces) for mounting the radiator on the wall.
• 2. Special valve for venting excess air (Mayevsky valve).
• 3. Key for tap
• 4. Radiator plugs having a diameter of 3/4 or 1/2. They can be left or right type.
• 5. Radiator plugs (blind plugs).
• 6. sometimes even dowels for mounting brackets.

Mounting kit for aluminum radiators.

According to the type of manufacture, the aluminum alloy radiator can be cast or extrusion.

1. Casting makes the device more durable and reliable. In this case, the sections are completely cast individual parts that are assembled into one radiator. The bottom of the battery is welded at the very end.

2. The use of extrusion equipment involves forcing a heated aluminum alloy through a metal plate with holes - a die. This allows you to get an aluminum long profile of the desired shape. After cooling, it must be chopped into segments corresponding to the size of the radiator. Then weld the upper and lower parts. In this case, it is not possible to adjust the radiator in length; it is impossible not to remove sections from it, not to add. On sale, they are rare but still they are.

Sizes of aluminum radiators of various manufacturers and their models

The tables below show both the size of the aluminum radiator section and the dimensions of the radiators assembly.

Aluminum radiators Climatic Control Corporation LLP

The brainchild of this company is BiLUX AL radiators with excellent heat dissipation, which are made taking into account all the nuances of individual heating systems. Their surface area is very significant, and the cross section of the vertical pipe is optimally calculated. The factory for the production of these radiators is located in China. The distance between the axes of the collectors can be 30 cm (BiLUX AL M 300) or 50 cm (BiLUX AL M 500).

In the manufacturing process, the upper parts molded under pressure are connected to the bottom, which is done using special welding technology. After assembly, the batteries are treated chemically and mechanically. Then they are tested, checking how tight and durable they are. Paint the batteries in several steps. After cleaning, they are affected by an electrostatic field. At this time, epoxy-based enamel is sprayed. Then, heating to a high temperature, the surface of the product is polymerized.

The ends of the BiLUX AL radiators have a special design that allows you to use a special ring as a gasket. The material from which it is made, one hundred percent seals joints. Nipples are used cadmium. Leaks are absolutely excluded. No matter how many times the battery sections are moved, it is as simple as possible.

How to calculate the number of radiator sections

There is a simplified way to do this quickly. To do this, we need the standard power needed to heat one square meter of the room. Here are three options.

• If the ceilings in the room have the usual height (from 2.5 to 2.7 meters), the wall to the outside is one, the window is one. The standard power is 100 watts.
• If the ceilings are the same, two outward walls, one window. The standard power is 120 watts.
• If the same height of the ceilings, the walls to the outside - two, the windows - two. The standard power is 130 watts.

Now we multiply two quantities - the standard power for our option and the area of ​​the room. Having higher ceilings or a larger window (for example, if it is with a bay window), we additionally multiply by a correction factor of 1.1. As a result, we obtain the power of the radiator (total).

The radiator's passport indicates the thermal power for its one section. It is necessary to divide the resulting total power into it. Round the fractional numbers up.

For example: The room has an area of ​​16 square meters, it has one outer wall and one window with a bay window. Battery FARAL Green HP 500 (thermal power section - 180 watts).

We multiply 100 watts by 16 square meters and by a factor of 1.1.

100 x 16 x 1.1 = 1760 (watts).

To calculate the number of radiator sections, divide this number by 180.

1760/180 = 9.778 (pieces).

Rounding - we get 10 sections.
